"You are my little sister's best friend. You are my best friend. All I wanted was to come home and believe that everything was normal. I never meant to fall in love with you again. But I can't help the way that I feel about you."

After three years of working as an English teacher in Thailand, Ryan Blake finally decides to come home after years of wanting to escape the life he left behind. Now, finally ready to return to the small town of Scarlet, Michigan, Ryan is about to realize that his past life hadn't really faded, including his feelings for now single mother Olivia Jackson.

Three years after ending her secret relationship with Ryan, Liv only has one thing on her mind: her two-year-old daughter Hadley. Being a single mother had never been easy, but she chose the life she now lived. When Ryan returns home, she realizes that she still has feelings for him. However, any romance between the two had been strictly forbidden by Ryan's sister and Liv's best friend, Chelsea.

Will a second secret romance start to bud, or will Ryan and Olivia end things once and for all?

Gabriel & Athena, Book One: Fate (A Wattpad Featured Story) by NMBooks
26 parts Complete
FORMERLY TITLED "FATUM" Chosen as a Wattpad Featured Story in May 2017 There's a reason high school senior Athena Thorpe spends every available moment reading books: fiction is always so much better than the real world. Even the unexpected scandal she suffered thanks to Jackson Montgomery was just a blip in her typically mundane existence in Sparrow, North Carolina. But no story could ever compare to the life-altering events that occur when Gabriel Valente moves into town. Being the son of a notorious crime lord and having grown up on the streets of Manhattan, Gabriel defies all the expectations the students of Sparrow High have for him, including Athena's. She never expected he would match her interest in the written word, or his unlikely grand gestures and definitely not the immediate but intense feelings which cause them to spiral into a secret relationship. A relationship that hinders on Gabriel's uncertain future, which could find him being the heir to the mob throne. Whether or not she wants to admit it, Athena knows the world Gabriel comes from is a dark and violent one. It's just really easy to pretend it doesn't exist within the bubble that is Sparrow. Yet, no matter how much we pretend, reality is never far away, with Gabriel and Athena learning a tragic lesson about choice and consequence a little too late. When you finally decide what you want most in life, the next question becomes: will fate agree?
